You... never watched an Indiana Jones movie?!

You should watch all three before seeing Kingdom of the Crystal Skull, for sure.

Classic trilogy.

Mind blown.

Indiana Jones 4 review

Kingdom of boredom

Thanks to an early screening offered for the media, including our notorious website, I am able to give you a complete review of Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull, probably one of this summer's most awaited movie. It's been (almost) 20 years since Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade (1989), which was pretty bad by the way, and now the old fart that is Steven Spielberg is back at it with another boring entry in the series. The movie aknowledges this too story-wise, so you won't find yourself back in the 50s. Ok, what is really disturbing with this movie, is how the intro sequence looks like something shaped out of War of the World and Three Kings, with the creation the crystal skulls (spoiler : these are, in fact, the skulls of an alien civilisation that used to control the Earth before Xenu came in and cleared them of his way, claiming the planet and creating humans). Indy, acted by Harrison Ford, who is now retired, gets a call from a russian spy who heard rumors about one of the crystal skulls being held in a Mayan temple. Predictable enough, Indy accepts to investigate and finds himself in unknown territory with his sidekick, who is the most annoying movie character I've seen in recent history.


For those wondering, yes, I'm talking about Shia Lebouf and he really does ruin this movie. I mean, he was bad enough in Transformers, now he really seems out of the place (if that's even possible). He plays some kind of motorcycle-riding greaser who is as convincing as my sister (my sister is dead). I'll give this production some credits for its special effects, they are really well done, but unfortunately the plot isn't that special. Considering Indy 4 is 123 minutes long (that's more than 2 hours), they could have created something both original and
full of twists. But no, what we get is the same old stuff, with current-gen technology. This movie will only please die-hard fans of the series who
really believe the crystal skulls do exist. Oh and let me add that these crystal skulls are the equivalent of the Holy Grail.

My last but not least gripe with Indy 4 is from a patriotism angle. You know, just because the nazis killed so many jews in the past des not make them automatically evil. Every country have horror stories to share, and those of the nazis are simply more known because they were part of the axis. In this movie,
there are swastikas and nazi soldiers roaming around, and of course the scenario places them as the vilains. When will the industry grow up? Funny enough, there are soviets too, and in my opinion they were worse than the german's army but hey, it's okay, they were allied with the United States. Another movie to fuel the hate between countries. That's mad.

2/5

I don't know if the movie is any good or not, but I give that review a 1/5.. unless of course you wrote it. ;)

I can`t believe that you`ve never seen an Indiana Jones film dude, but you obviously liked the Raiders of the Lost Ark and you will adore the other two for sure.

The only one concern for me, is that Arnie`s `age` ruined Terminator 3 (aided by the `female baddy` scenario which sucked ass !), so I`m hoping that Harrison Ford can pull it off with Indy better than Schwarzenegger did with T3 because poor old arnie simply looked too `old` for the role and really showed his age.

I'm going to see this tonight at midnight. Can't wait.

All I can say is... leave it to Lucas to turn Indiana Jones into a science fiction movie.

It was okay.
